I Love #1's - 1998

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Oooooo-oo-ooooo-oo! 'Baby Love' was the top of the ticks for 1964, Diana & co just beating the Kinks and Sandie Shaw. The Bachelors didn't get a single vote, and will slomp off home infront of the telly with a microwave meal for one. Between all of them! This week we bid adieu to Girl Power, welcome back Madge and ponder the ultimate question: what would one resemble with a 'chimney' bestowed upon one in the near future? It's 1998!

tolerating it

[piratemoggy.livejournal.com]

I really, really like that Manics song. I'd forgotten how much I liked it at the time until my dad had their Greatest Hits on in the car the other day and it is still quite wonderful.

Cornershop has been disappointing after the bombshell of discovering it was 'Brimful of Asha on the 45' and not 'Grim prune basher on the 45' which is obviously a lot better.

Another Level made me uncomfortable aged 11 and still makes me uncomfortable now -it would have made me cringe if Billie had done it, too (apparently according to some pop music publication I read at the time she was interested in doing it when it came up because it would have been interesting to see a woman perform it, personally I think it would have still been gross but at least she is more attractive than Another Level were I suppose) cus the lyrics are just minging. It's like watching bad, generic pr0n -there's nothing titillatory about it, it's just slightly morbidly fascinating. It's like 50 Cent- creepy sex, not at all sensual. Mind you, I like Marilyn Manson so probably can't talk.

I nearly put the Manics as my most disliked vote!

Another Level are pretty churn-inducing. The video still gets a reasonable amount of airplay on Hits!TV, usuall as part of 'top 100 vomitous RnB vids' or 'Our sechsy but not rly hott 40'. I remember everyone being quite excited that they were 'the male All Saints' to the Spicers' Boyzone. I think they must have been overlooking the whole 'lick you up and down' lyrics. *shudder*

However it is worth watching ONCE just to see Fat Dane Bowers do the high bit that none of the rest of them can reach: "^{Cos tonight baby, I wanna get freeeekeeee with youuuuuu}"

I like this Another Level song but it's not as good as 'Be Alone No More' or 'Bomb Diggy'.
